When did Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow breakup? Details explored as actress jokes about Coldplay scandal as Astronomer spokesperson

DataOps platform Astronomer has made headlines in recent times, notably in its connection with the Coldplay scandal. In a new move, the company has appointed Gwyneth Paltrow as a "very temporary spokesperson", releasing a video of the same on their X channel on July 26. For those unversed, Paltrow and Chris Martin were married for more than a decade before their mutual breakup in 2014, per People Magazine.

The news comes approximately a week after Chris Martin seemingly exposed Astronomer's ex CEO Andy Byron's alleged affair with Kristin Cabot. According to multiple news outlets, both Byron and Cabot have handed in their resignation at Astronomer. Following the internet frenzy, it appears that Astronomer is stabilising ground by bringing on board Gwyneth Paltrow.

She proceeds to answer "recent questions" that the company has been receiving in recent days. A question is subsequently flashed on the screen,

She affirms and describes it as the "best place to run Apace Airflow." She continues,

“Unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale. We’ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data automation."

She added,

"As for the other questions we’ve received — yes! There’s still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September. We will now be returning to what we do best, delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”

Astronomer's recent decision to onboard Gwyneth Paltrow as a temporary "spokesperson" comes in light of the recent controversy at the Coldplay concert.
